Terms & Conditions

1. General Provisions

These terms and conditions of sale (“GCS”) apply without any limitation or reservation whatsoever to the offer and retailing of cosmetics to Internet users (“Product” or “Products”) through the www.somensbarcelona.com website (“Website”). To purchase Products on the Website you must (i) be an end consumer, (ii) be at least 18 years of age, or if a minor, be duly authorised by your legal guardian, (iii) register on the Website and (iv) hold a valid credit card (“Buyer”). Before purchasing the Product (“Order”), you declare that the purchase made through the Website is not related to any professional activity and is limited to a strictly personal use. We reserve the right to cancel or reduce the quantity of Products ordered in the event of detecting the Order is fraudulent and it will therefore be considered null and void, without the need for us to make any notification whatsoever in this respect. Placing an Order for Products offered for sale on the Website entails, on your part, full and complete acceptance of these GCS, and the Buyer recognises that they have been duly informed in that respect prior to placing the Order. We reserve the right to modify these GCS at any time. Nonetheless, the GCS applicable to the Order will be those accepted by you at the time of placing the Order. These GCS will be completed with the provisions related to privacy and the cookies policy.

3. Formalisation of the Contract and Orders

3.1. Product Characteristics

Through the Website, we provide you with detailed information about the Products, as established by current law, thus offering you the option of knowing their composition and characteristics before placing the Order. You can select one or more Products from among the different categories offered on the Website. Nonetheless, we may modify the range of Products offered for sale on the Website at any time. In both the Website and in the Product leaflet we describe the components, recommendations of use and state of conservation, and we decline all responsibility for the incorrect use of the Products and the consequences that could arise due to the improper use or conservation of those Products. Our Products contain a high percentage of natural compounds, and so they are subject to the expiration dates. We make every effort to ensure the Product descriptions are as accurate as possible, but we cannot guarantee that the descriptions, colours or other contents available are exact, updated or faultless. The Products fulfil the current provisions of Spanish law. We decline all responsibility in the event of failing to comply with the legislation of any country – other than Spain – in which the product is delivered. For all queries regarding the Products and their use, or for additional queries, please consult the FAQs or contact us at sales@somensbarcelona.com

3.2. Prices

The retail price of our Products is expressed in euros and is valid at the time of placing the Order. We may modify the price at any time, in which case you will be informed of said modifications before placing the Order. The price does not include shipping costs, which will be billed separately from the price of the purchased Products. Shipping costs are indicated before you register the Order. We may modify the shipping methods at any time, and for this reason we advise you to consult the GCS posted on the Website from time to time. The prices will include Value-Added Tax (VAT) applicable on the date of the Order. Any modification in the VAT rate will automatically be included in the price of the Products which are posted on the Website.

3.3. Availability

The Products on the Website will be valid while they continue to be announced on the Website and in all cases, until stocks run out. If any Product is not in stock in our warehouses, the validity of the offers presented will be subject to Product availability. When you place the Order, we will provide you with information existing at that time in relation to its availability. In all cases, in the event that a Product is fully or partially unavailable after placing the Order, you will immediately receive an email informing you that the Product is not available, and cancelling the Order in full or in part.

3.4. Order

Placing an Order entails accepting these GCS and the documents related to privacy and cookies. Before confirming your Order, you will have the option of checking the Order details and correcting any mistake. Once the Order has been confirmed, we will consider that you have accepted the content and conditions of the Order in question and, in particular, the present GCS, which constitutes your obligation to pay for the goods. After validating this phase, you will not be able to cancel your Order, as the sale will be deemed firm, except if you exercise your right of withdrawal subject to the conditions set out in these GCS. We will confirm your Order by sending an email to the address you have provided. When the Order has been dispatched you will receive a second email. We advise you to keep both these emails, either by printing them out on paper or in electronic format. You are informed that these two emails will be sent to the email address you provided when you identified yourself during the registration process, before placing the Order. We decline all responsibility in the event of an error in entering your email address, or not receiving the email confirming your Order, in which the sale is deemed firm. Nonetheless, you may exercise your right of withdrawal subject to the conditions set out in these GCS. Once we have collected the Order price, you will receive an email with a copy of your electronic invoice. You may request a printed copy of the invoice by writing an email to sales@somenscosmetics.com. We reserve the right to suspend or cancel the execution and/or delivery of an Order, regardless of its nature and phase of execution, in the event of non-payment or partial payment of any amount owed by the Buyer, in the event of incidents related to payment or in the event of fraud related to the use of our Website.

We will not be obliged to fulfil the obligations set out in the present GCS in the event that the breach of such obligations is attributable to actions of third parties, even if such actions are unforeseeable, to negligence on your part or to a force majeure event, as this is defined in the applicable jurisdiction, or to any other circumstance that is reasonably outside our exclusive control.

Our responsibility will, in all cases, be limited to the amount of the Order you have paid for, in the event that such responsibility is attributable exclusively to the execution of the Order.

We collect your personal data and, when applicable, the data of the recipient of the Order. We hereby inform you that such data will be included in a computer file for which we are responsible and which has been duly filed with the Spanish Data Protection Agency.

In the event that one or more of the clauses of these GCS were to be considered void or declared invalid by the application of any law, regulation or the result of a final decision by a competent authority, the other clauses shall conserve their full validity and scope.

14.2 Waiver exclusion

If one Party should not exercise the rights open to them in the case of breach by the other Party of any obligation imposed by these GCS, this shall not be interpreted as a waiver in case of future breaches of said obligation.
